As part of our legal obligations under The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, we are required to verify the identity of both the vendor and purchaser in every property transaction.

To meet these requirements, all estate agents must carry out Customer Due Diligence checks on every party involved in the sale or purchase of a property in the UK.

We outsource these checks to a trusted third-party provider. A charge of £20 + VAT per person will apply to cover this service.
